June 2014

A VERY EARLY MIGRATION THIS YEAR FOR THE MAASAI MARA. THE WILDEBEEST ARE ALREADY ROAMING THE PLAINS OF THE FAMOUS NATIONAL RESERVE.

THE BEST MOMENT FOR NATURE ENTHUSIASTS!

THE LAKES OF THE RIFT VALLEY IN KENYA ARE CHANGING SHAPE. WATER LEVEL IS RISING IN LAKE NAIVASHA, LAKE NAKURU, LAKE BARINGO AND BOGORIA LIKE NEVER BEFORE IN RECENT TIMES.

THESE TWO PICTURES ARE FROM LAKE NAKURU. I TAKEN THE FIRST ON 2011 WHEN IT WAS NORMAL TO DRIVE ALONG THE SHORE OF THE LAKE, WATCHING FLAMINGOS.  I  TAKEN THE SECOND PICTURE , FROM THE SAME POINT OF WIEW , ONLY FEW WEEKS AGO ( 2014). THE ACACIA FOREST IS NOW WELL INSIDE THE LAKE, WITH HUNDREDS OF TREES NOW FALLING DEAD IN THE WATER.

SO FAR, NO OFFICIAL EXPLANATION IS BEEN GIVEN ABOUT THIS ECOLOGICAL DISASTER.
